FATHER KELLER ARRESTED.
1t would seem that the hope express

It would seem that the hope expressed
by Edwin Del4isle, Conservative mem
Der for Middle Leicestersllire, that he
would like to see Archbishop Croke
tried on charge of high treason, is, in
a certain degree, about to be realized.
In the light Of the events OF the past
week, it is quite apparent that the
Tories intend to make wan against the
Catholic priesthood.
The other day, Father Keller, the re-
spected priest of youghal. was incar-
cerated in KiEmainham jail because he
would not disclose condolences reposed
in him as priest. According to the
cablegrams, Father Keller's entry into
Dublin partook Of the nature of g til
umphant hero. While the revered
father was being conveyed from the
court to the jail he received a continu-
Gus ovation, while Archbishop Walsh
of Dublin, Mr.. William O'Brien, OF
United Ireland, Lord Mayor Sullivan
and MI Timothy Harrington, M. P,
followed him to the place OF confine-
ment in carriages. The populace fol-
lowed singing. "God Save Ireland"
The original charge preferred against
Father Keller was that he was believed
to be 'plan of campaign" trustee, and
the authorities desired to recover the
funds alleged to have been placed in his
trust. The authorities have a. big con-
tract on hand if they mean to compel
Father Keller to give them ANY informa-
tion on this point.

FATHER CURnAN, an American
Catholic priest who recently visited
Ireland, speaking with regard to the
alleged lawlessness of the Irish people,
says: II travelled the country from
north to south, and from east to west,
and during my stay Of almost three
months, l never saw a quarrel OF an
outrage Of any kind, nor q case OF
drunkenness except one. The Orange
riots in Belfast and elsewhere were not
the outcome Of lawlessness on the part
of the Irish people--they were entirely
the work of a bigoted Orange faction
whose members were driven to- blind
fury by the unchristian larangues Of
pulpit orators, and encouraged in their
work Of destruction by the political
enemies Of Ireland" Just SO, the hire

TIE Irish question is rapidly assu1n-
ing portentious proportions. Can it be
that the Salisbury Government is deter
mined to drive Ireland to desperation,
in order to place the country under
martial law? 1t was a favorite policy
of Tory Governments in days gone by,
and from the accounts that reach us
this week it would seem as if it was
again going to be brought forward. 1t

JOHN DILLON made a strong point in
the British House of Commons when he
said that in the south of ireland it was
considered a disgrace to be seen talking
TO policeman. 1t is not the police that
the people dislike SO much, but the
nefarious laws which these men are
hired to enforce. Under any conditions
or circumstances none but mean man
would accept employment from gov
eminent that would promulgate such
base laws.

Gated in Washington. BY his instruc-

waited upon him with s. brief, fully,
heartily and emphatic indorsing the
project. In the matter of location, as
in other respects, the Pope confidently
defers to the Judgment Of the bishops
and places the institution directly and
forever under the sole jurisdiction of
the American hierarchy. In all the
text Of the briefs are used enthusiastic
ally terms Of Endorsement III the same
spirit as the language Of the Pope Oh the
occasion of the private reception to the
Cardinals after Thursdays consistory,
namely: 1t is the pride of our PonSifl-

FORGING TIE CHAINS.

'Ehe Tory blacksmiths have at last
settled down TO business, and before an
other issue Of The IRISH STANDARD
is in the hands OF our readers, a chain
will have been forged for the purpose Of
manacling the Irish people. At the
time Of writing no definite information
can ba given as to the exact nature of
the bill about to be introduced into the
British House Of Commons, but stuff
Gent can be gathered from an analysis
of the speeches of Ar. Smith, leader of
the Government, and MIR. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland to warrant
the assertion that it Will be q measure
of strong coercive character. Tie To-
ries advance as reason for the pro
posed enforcement Of their de,nolilacal
policy the time-Worn falsehood that Ire
land is in state OF emi-barbarity and
!awlessness reigns supreme throughout
the land-and to restore peace they
feel constrained to bind the irish people
down with chains! The falsity and by
pccrisy Of this statement was fully ex-
posed by Nj. John Morley in his; speech
in the House OF Commons last Tues
day. He showed that at the
present time the lawlessuess az
tributed to Ireland partools wholly
of the nature Of discomfort, and sug-
gestetl as the only means of bringing
about a change in the existing condition
Of things i'll that country was remedial
legislation, which would destroy the
foots of discomfort. This gentleman
also showed what had been the result
of the coercion bill of 1881. The num-
Der Of evictions rose enormously, and
as q natural consequence the number Of
outrages increased from ITO in E'ebru
airy, 1881, to 47o in January, 1882, and
to 53l in March. It will be seen by
these figures that coercion in Ireland in
the past has never had the effect de-
sired by the Government enforcing it,
but has been met in precisely the same
spirit that the now PROPOSED legislation
will Eff there Is ever an attempt
made to execute it--utter disregard for
the machinery Of g corrupt and de-
bauched government.
The question naturally arises at this
time, will the attempt ever be made to
enforce this latest effort TO dwarf the
aspirations of the Irish people I? Under
any circumstances it will be several
months before the bill can become an
available working measure. The Gov
eminent must inevitably meet with
much opposition before the bill is
passed, and, as limited by Mr.. Smith, it
is just possible that an appeal to the
country will take place, in ORDER that it
may be confirmed or the Tories relieved
of the responsibility of Government. 1t
Is more than likely that an appeal to the
country will be MADE, in which event it
is quite possible. in fact probable, that
Mr. Gladstone will again control the
reins of government. But should the
Tories succeed in passing the bill with
out an appeal TO the country, the Irish
people Will then be compelled to stand
face to face with the INSCRIPTIONS hire.

IRISH MANUFACTURES.

An Irish exchange states chat "the
Limerick ready-made clothing factory
is now in working order and giving en-
ployment to a couple OF hundred men
and women This is one OF the re-
suits Of the effort that is being made
throughout Ireland to encourage home
manufactures, by urging the people to
buy exclusively goods Of Irish produc-
tion. The policy Of England to dis
courage the manufacturing industries
OF Ireland dates as far back ;1s the 18th
century. In 1899 an export duty was
put upon Irish cloths. Three years
previous to this William, Prince of
Orange, said TO deputation of Eng
lishmen that he would do all in his
power to promote the trade Of Eng
land and discourage the WOODEN trade of
Ireland" On June 8, 1888, both Houses
OF the London Parliament addressed
the usurper, stating that the growing
manufacture Of cloth ia ireland, both
by the cheapness OF all sorts OF neces~
saries Of life and the goodness Of ma
terials for making a.! manner Of cloth,
doth invite your subjects Of England,
with their families and servants, to
leave their habitations TO settle there,
to the increase Of the WOODEN manufac-
ture in Ireland. which makes your loyal
subjects in England very apprehensive,
that the further growth Of it may
greatly prejudice the said manufacture
here This may sound strange in the
ears of people who to-day hear SO much

British Empire was built up and the sf-
forts that should now be made to main

Rod as we'll as now, the great object
England had in maintaining the union
with ireland was that she might rob
the people oil the latter country. The
means employed i'll carrying cut this
end We're invariably dishonorable and
dishonest. She has pauperized Ireland
in every conceivable manner, but,
thanks to MI. Redmond and others who
have taken the industrial side Of the
question in hand, Irish manufactures,
as stated above, are on a fair way to re-
cOvery.

HARD ON THE JUDGE.-The Chicago
Ereninq Journal says editorially In the
general approval that is bestowed on Sheriff
Matson for prohibiting the proposed scanda-
lous iail marriage of the anarchist Spies and
Miss Van Zandt it appears to have been
forgotten that one Of the judges holding 8
court ofrecord in Chicago is said TO have
agreed to perform the immoral and indecent
marriage ceremony. 1t has been repeated
" reported in the city press, and not de-
MED, that Judge Prendergast had consented
to bestoy his judicial sanction On the agree
ment between Spies, the condemned snarch-
ist. and the demented girl who had deter
mined TO marry him. The moral public
opinion of Chicago would have been glad to
hear q denial from Judge Prendergast OF
this rumor, but have not had that salts.
faction. By his silence ne apparently ad-
mits the correctness of the report. There
is nothing about this entire scandal and In
decency more scandalous sud indecent
than the fact, if it is t,and 1t appears to
be, that the county Judge of Cook county
had agreed to become leading actor in the
principal disgracefuI scene. Ii it is true
that Judge Prendergast had agreed
to iudicially give this half crazy
girl to the lustful arms OF the
Condemned anarchist and murderer,
and to consign her to q life OF sorrow and
shame, there is 40 condemnation which ne
does not merit. Every decent. moral sense
of the community was es greatly shocked
when the reports of the proposed Jail mar
riage were confined, as it would have been
if the girl victim OF a horrible menis had,
with unusual ostentation, under circum-
stances of peculiar immortality, given herself
to public career of vice and intamy. The
possibility that the proposed union might
bear fruit-and such fruit as the union OF
ghastly crime in the husband and evident
dementia in the bride would have produced
was regarded as inseparable from the con-
summation of the ceremony. If it is true
! that Judge Prendergast was to have per
formed this marriage ceremony, he is guilty
of criminal intent to bind judicially this
bargain of lewdness and lunaoy, with all its
attending circumstances and possible result.
1t is possible that to secure the vote OF the
"red socialists" in his scheme for political
advancement JudLe Prendergast pledged
himself to the promotion CT this atTocious
and filthy project. But denial from him
that he had SO agreed. to prostitute his judi
cial office would be gladly received. If he
has no denial TO make, he of course accepts
the record as it stands.
